UPROXX 20: Kathleen Madigan Really Has A Thing For Guinness Stew

Comedian Kathleen Madigan is probably best known for her numerous standup specials on HBO, Comedy Central, and Netflix and also for being a finalist in season two of Last Comic Standing. Her latest standup special, Bothering Jesus, is available now for streaming on Netflix; it’s Madigan’s third standup special available on the streaming service. “I love working with them. They’re the young people,” Madigan says about Netflix. “Network TV will need to adapt quickly to even have a chance to stay in the game. Netflix gets it and makes it so easy for us. Instead of it being a battle of content and rules, it’s just fun. What it’s supposed to be.” Madigan was nice enough to answer our twenty questions questionnaire recently.
